The ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is a rare, but life-threatening disease that demands fast diagnosis. We report in the following about a patient who was admitted with symptoms of urinary obstruction and an acute abdomen. Ultrasound investigation at admission confirmed urinary obstruction of the right kidney. Causative for that however was a right pararenal ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, which led secondarily to ureter compression. Thus, in our opinion, primary ultrasound examination represents an important instrument in differential diagnosis.

Objectives: This study assessed the association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severity and postoperative mortality among patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and complex endovascular aortic repair (CEVAR).
Methods: A retrospective review of the Vascular Quality Initiative database identified elective TEVAR and CEVAR cases from 2013-2022 with endograft proximal landing zone ≥2 for thoracic or complex abdominal aortic disease. Symptomatic disease, ruptures, and urgent/emergent surgeries were excluded.

Objectives: Optimal timing for intervention for abdominal aortic aneurysms remains unclear. Given the increased rupture risk with larger aneurysms, timely intervention is critical. This study sought to examine endovascular aortic aneurysm repairs (EVAR) delays across Canadian centers, focusing on potential differences related to geography, sex and race.

A type 2 endoleak (EL2) remains the most prevalent complication of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We conducted a retrospective, single-center analysis, including patients who underwent embolization for an isolated EL2 after EVAR. The study population was stratified into two groups: Group A, consisting of patients whose EL2 resolved after the first embolization procedure, and Group B, consisting of those with refractory EL2 (rEL2).

Introduction: The repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (R-AAA) entails high mortality. This study aims to analyze differences in postoperative outcomes.
Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted of 8 studies involving 26 473 patients, evaluating 30-day mortality rates by comparing open surgical repair with endovascular repair and stratifying results by sex.
